Author's Note

Okay for those who wish to skip this chapter go ahead, you may want to read when I do a another venture series. Because this is going to cover a continent. I am using a slight amalgamation of several series, to create my version of the zebras the homeland. And a little bit of insight in some of the characters. (Basically twilight buying books. Thankfully I am skipping the 'funny' of double shopping. There is a is only funny when you buy something wrong. Why do so many shows focus on shopping!

Although I do reference, heavily from this
Couple of other references and story details!

Twilight's dirty secrets

Twilight[FIM] after leaving her bowels for the fourth time, climbing out of bed was slightly still exhausted. And felt like it was a good time to come up with a good book. After learning that there was a spell for zebras, that allowed them to produce amounts of milk rivaling the Minotaur's(which basically replace all the bovine races her world.) She was quite curious and beside to reread some of their history!

Story summaries: of the thunder planes.

Zebca, given by Equestria's explores, the people of its homeland have many names, The Cats call it Thundera, as was most of the tribes of the Thunder planes. We know it as savanna, a great plane like area. Covered in the delicious grass, with gorgeous trees, beautiful mountains. But the water that was only around was small lakes, or the rain water that came from soon learn territory of the Sphynx. There there were many tribals. : Lions,Vultures, the hyenas, Gazella, Zebra, giraffes,Elephant & Rhino. Of this territory these tribes start a war based on the subject of food. The herbivores not only do they outnumber carnivores, but they better food supply! As such the carnivores, started a war! The zebras were the far weaker at the races at the time, unlike their fellow races they didn't have the advantages. The elephants and the rhinos had muscles, of untold origin! Extremely hard horns and tusks, capable of stabbing and tearing into the flesh. Same goes for the gazelle, antlers. Even the giraffes extremely long neck, capable of being used in battle! The war range for several years. During the years, an another new tribe appeared, giving the carnivores the effective edge that they needed! This was are the Cheetahs, stories of the origins vary from bazaar to weird. The first story states that they came from the cradle of life like everything else, while being the fastest on land the creation they were slow, as they came out so late in the war, and they were so young the only knew of combat. Other stories say that because of the union of the Lions and the gazelles, find the breaker piece and instead created a new creature to hunt down their ancestors.

Either origins are only necessary explaining personalities of the cheetah, but the point that they entered was the bloodiest, and the bloodly becomes End! As the victor goes the spoils, war and the war Victor was carnivores! Now they had access to all the delicious meat they can have, but the Lions made sure that their supplies were everlasting that they believe. By only forcing the vegetarian tribes, to pick one of their tribals members as a sacrifice. Many tribes picked only the fattest, the sickly, and the unuseful members of society to be on that list. As the Lions demand the sacrifice be large enough to Feeding all of the four tribes.

During this the zebras were harshly transformed, no longer young and prideful, like it was during the early days of the war. As they were battered and beaten into submission, that Lions began to think. While the scavenger classes were, complaining about the food. The zebras proceeded to claim small portions applies. As they gathered water and many types of grass and plants. Were their first attempt into the desert, well as a road to Doom. One year when it came to their offering, all the zebras were gone, as well as all the food that they had gathered for the offering to be fed. Water that they gather, was also gone! The Lions sent the cheetah! But the cheetah were only fast that short Distance, by the time they noticed zebras gone, were long gone.

Twilight reflection:

Twilight[Fim] looks sad, but understood that during this timeframe, the zebras did not learn the magics that they know now. And part of her felt guilty what she did today, she ate meat! What if those pigs, were intelligent as her? Not Mention what she 'did' earlier. And unlike the Lions, she didn't need meat! Her species was pretty much a purely vegetarian. She was eating meat for the enjoyment. She wasn't a omnivore had the need to eat both types. All she did was save her other self from casting a 'counter spell' and causing massive injury that only the earth pony part of her was able to recover, allowing the unicorn cast the healing spell, and the Pegasus side to recover faster. Does she really have this Cruel and heartless streak? During this reflection she mindlessly skipped over, the 7 year journey the desert, they came to the land of many rivers.

Anugypt:

The zebras to upon the land known as Anugypt, and the land was controlled by 1st Sphynx, but soon they would be controlled by the jackets, then the cats, then the jackals, and then the cats is a never-ending cycle. The zebras upon the land, starving hungry and very very weak! A year of water was not going to last blistering heat of this desert, especially for 7 years, they barely managed to fight after losing many of their friends. They came upon the Sphynxes they were afraid they look so much like the carnivores that they know.
For a Sphynx is composed, of a lion, a monkey, and what the zebras 1st thought were vultures, but reality the Eagle. But in order to prove their friendship, they were given delicious food, known as fruit and watched as the Sphynx began to eat it as well! As they taught them that new creature diet known as an omnivore, a creature that feeds off of both fruit and meat with equal subsidence and requires both types. As they had both types of Teeth, grinders meant for crushing and smoothing out grass, as well as the canines that are meant to tear an open the flesh and devour muscle.

There in these lands they learn the concept of magic! magic requires the powers and energies of the land. Sphynx explained that magic exists in all things, and while they were leery of sharing all the spells, they did teach the zebras several. But the zebras were crafty and learn many secret spells as well. White River(breast expansion spell), and a series of other magics. They learned that magic in all 3 forces, the air the water and the land, and finally there was a 4th extra force was required to acknowledge the magic, known as the living. Only living creatures can channel the magic. But then came the great event.

Now we know that the great event was actually a surprise meteors storm that was gracing the land, tiny small space rocks, they were gigantic before hitting our atmosphere, but they became smaller after the penetrating the atmosphere, the following rocks hit several landmarks, some were not targeted by them others were created gigantic craters and unleashing huge amounts of dirt and cosmic magic. A few forces were not able to understand cosmic magic, causing these races to disappear. The Minotaur's barely survived their encounter with cosmic magical energies. The ponies survived in the the of understanding it through their ancestors causing them to split up into the 3 races, as only a few could actually survive having all 3 races in them now on. As such the magics affected many lands. Including Zebca.

Sphynx barely managed to predict the event, in order to save their new friends known as the zebras, they told him that the desert with their safety, but they did not know was the land was going to be hit hard with The flying space rocks! Meanwhile they created the fabled black pyramid, their attempt at a bomb shelter. The zebras were forced into the desert, far better supplied than previous times. And with the knowledge of magics that they had gathered, they updated their skills to survive the desert far better than they once had. After the great event the zebras returned one year later, to find that the land was overrun the jackals, at the jackals weren't as friendly as Sphynx. For the great pyramid was sealed shut, and was bombarded with so much cosmic energy, as it was hit actually a full-blown meteor, roughly the size of your average two-story home. Black pyramid was sturdy and able to withstand the impact, but that destroyed their opening mechanisms, trapping forever(so we thought) The Sphynx. And to escape the jackals from attempting to feed on them much like the Lions of past, they escaped into the desert once again!

Twilight stops reading:

Twilight[fim] began to become very sleepy, reading did its job. Causing her to be able to go to sleep in the chair.

The next morning:

Twilight[FAP] waking up, noticing her partner is missing from her bed, and proceeds to check around the castle, finding her in the private library, covered in a blanket obviously done by shoeshine. Fast and sound asleep with a book close with a small bookmark, history of the zebras. Twilight gave a slight smile, and placed down a small collection of incantations, obviously her counterpart had probably read the story to help sleep, and probably to double check to see if she can cast the counter spell correctly. Although she hasn't been cast the counter spell for the extra stuff.

Twilight[FAP] carefully nudged her counterpart, to wake her up forgetting that she herself is a heavy sleeper, often one of the jokes if either Trixie or Spike was that if a meteor, of the great events with smacking her tree, she would sleep sound straight through it and waiting for the tree roots are growing into her head. It took a while but she managed to wake up her counterpart, and began to whisper the counter spells.

After casting counter spell:

Twilight[fim] only cast the spell to remove the 'Rod' and instead of eating breakfast at the castle, the 2 went out for a breakfast meal, at one of the local shops actually it was on one shop open at this time of the day, most of the dining shops were closed on Sundays, as the tower mainly worshipers of Princess Celestia. Back during the early days the princesses were worship like God's. And while the princesses didn't care for too often well Luna actually was fine with it. Mainly because those with a few pony to actually stay the night to enjoy your fabulous work, before she gained her dream walking abilities.

Musical Treats

Bonbon working in the back counter usual, baking up the delicious treats, and also try not to listen to the 2 Twilight doing a quick quiz! While Lyra was watching.

[FaP] “Spider that taught the zebras, potion magic?” (Lyra's point of view)Sometimes bonbon to give me, information and quiz me. Instead of just us doing bunch of 'cosplay's' , although I do have to admit to enjoy secret agent Sweet drop!

[FiM] “Who is Anansi!” Lyra's watching and wondering, how someone could look so happy, one self reflection, and only one time where she managed to convince bonbon to try the the doppelgänger the 'cosplay', and it was extremely horrible, she couldn't understand the concept of how do you find yourself sexy, in being sexually aroused.

[FaP] “Yes 200 points.” Lyra was now really confused on the concept of why there was the need to have points? And she brought over the plate of delicious licorice root donuts. Black licorice to be exact. And a batch of also peanut butter fudge.

Eating and more quiz:

From the heartstrings point of view: Lyra”BY Luna's purple Moon!” Watching in horror as the beautifully made donuts and licorice were spilling out of the princesses mouth as they continue to talk with their mouth full while eating.

Twist was dropping off, the next victims of slaughter a piece of candy known as gushers ! Watching the princesses unleashing the spray of gushers, of juicy liquid, fighting the urge to scream! Her parents always instilled the value of every single drop of food, and here are the 2 princesses, eating like nobody's business, and look like a herd of monsters tearing and ripping open flesh of the delicious candies, splattering the sugary sweets delicious blood all over the place, was just glad that they didn't order the delicious bonbon bonbon's

On the bright side Twist was getting all the answers for her next quiz, because Cheerilee did point out next week is going to be on history of zebras with Zecora a special guest, well so long as she could understand what they were saying, a problem when you listen to people talk with their mouthfuls, the words become gobbled up and messy it's only a surprise that Twilight was getting perfect scores, she is talking to herself so I guess it makes sense that she would know if she was right. Twist and bonbon “MY HeAD!”

After breakfasts.

After breakfast everything was starting to open up, and the girls went out looking around town, seeing a lot of the place is starting to open up restaurants, the stores, sofa & quills. The usual restaurants and stores. Naturally the 2 just started shopping, for what else but books! Although Twilight[fim] did buy some unique technology for her universe. To examine the differences between this universe is the type of laptop, to the laptop of the human world. Figuring out how to type on a printing press with the keys closer together was quite tricky. Luckily this newer laptop does have a slightly better feature, which would be more telekinesis friendly.

After shopping(that would make rarity proud on the expenses)

So much stuff was dropped off at the tables, of the library. Mostly technical books, with extremely detailed diagrams of making data crystals, manuals on how to take apart and put together a computer. A title that may Twilight[fim] absolutely mad, but completely understandable and the other Twilight[Fap] explained to her.

Twilight[fim] side She read the title allowed “software programming for dummies.” She was not stupid, maybe it just really challenge with a certain things but not stupid! She took amazing pride in her intelligence. But she needed this book in order to understand this thing called software versus hardware, which she did by the companion book that also frustrated title, which was computer hardware for dummies.

[FAP]“ I'm glad I didn't have to explain the concept credit card? But I'm curious, do you have credit cards in your universe?” With a slight curiosity, she automatically explained the process of prism glasses, being used to pay for things, to your mystical account. And her counterpart nodded at that moment.

{FIM]” Not exactly but the have the similar thing in the human world, although it's not made out of prism glasses out. This thing called plastic! A oil-based product, which thankfully they didn't have to explain too much about it. I've managed to re-create the project, but my formulaic systems were slightly off. It could be the fact that the oil here is quite different than the oil in the universe to the fact that they are not bombarded with mystical cosmic magics. I had to kill 3 monsters.”

[Fim] began to watch Twilight giggle and laugh, she found herself extremely adorable when she was laughing, some say looking at your own reflection with vanity would be something that Rarity would do. But now she can understand the reasoning behind Rarity just staring at herself in the mirror almost half the time all day long, she had to admit she looked quite beautiful. Even with the standard BB chest.
